    A fun tour and a great way to see more of London on foot. Our guide George provided an excellent experience full of historical information about the pubs, the surrounding area and greater London. Coming during the holiday season was a treat to see the pubs full of decorations, as well.

    what a fantastic way to get to know London's oldest pubs. Not only was George very knowledgeable about Londoners and their beer but he knew very much about the city. His enthusiasm not only got me more interested but made me enjoy and see beer in a different way. Will definitely recommend this tour back home! Thank you George!

    Booked this for myself and my husband and we’re joined by 10 of a very friendly German tour group. George the guide was great and had us all chatting by the first pub. Fella is a font of knowledge and great chat! One of the most enjoyable things we done in London and great value!
